Home sharing with macbook pro (10.6.1) and Power pc G5 (10,5,8)

I just installed the new iTunes 9 with home sharing on both copputers.
I've activate the home sharing on both too, and then :
I can see the sharing and the library of the macbook pro on the G5
But
I cannot see the sharing and the library of the G5 on the Macbook pro.
Both computers have the same settings...
If some one can help... thanks in advance..

Adobe acrobat and acrobat reader current versions. I am away from it at the minute, but I will try preview just to see if it is that.  If so, is there any solution? I am actually not sure acrobat is installed on the iMac, does it need to be?

  • Home Sharing between Macbook Pro and AppleTV not connecting, what's wrong?

    So I have one of the late 2011 Macbook Pro models and the newest AppleTV that I do a lot of Home Sharing for movies and stuff like that. This problem keeps popping up though where they can't communicate with each other and the videos either stop loading half way through, or my AppleTV can't even connect with my macbook to start watching at all. I've gone through most of the possible solutions I've seen posted before and even the troubleshooting by apple about it. I've made sure they are both on the same apple ID, the same wi-fi network, restarted my router, even re-setup my router from scratch, closed itunes on my macbook, turned my wifi on and off a couple of times (worked for a few then stopped again), made sure that everything is on the most current software, but nothing seems to be doing the trick. This has been going on for months now and I'm pretty much sick of it happening. Somebody please help me fix this so I can get on with my movies!!

    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.
    If this doesn't help, contact your ISP, this is most likely a network problem.

  • Conflict between home sharing from MacBook Pro and airplay from ipad / iPhone?

    Just bought an Apple TV, and set it up yesterday. Everything works fine, with one exception. When I have iTunes open and home sharing turned on the Apple TV, when trying to mirror airplay from my ipad 4th gen or my iPhone 5s, I get nothing on the Apple TV, just black screen. It also makes the device run really sluggish.
    I've definitely narrowed it down to this conflict, quitting iTunes on the MacBook Pro immediately resolves the issue. So no big deal, right? Just turn off itunes. Except the whole point of buying the Apple TV is to have a central point I can stream all my media in the house from, I'd like to have my MacBook Pro, iMac, ipad and iPhone able to take control of the Apple TV without having to run across the house to turn iTunes on or off on the computers.
    This only happens when mirroring, normal airplay audio or video works just fine. MacBook Pro and Apple TV are hard wired Ethernet, ipad on wifi.
    Is this a known conflict? Is there any solution?

    Normally there ought to be an airplay button in the top menu bar (where also the battery, wifi, clock, etc are located). And in display settings at the bottom there ought to be a drop down menu labelled Airplay Display.
    If not, it seems that your Apple TV cannot be found. Are both on the same network? Have you enabled AirPlay in the Apple TV (Settings -> AirPlay set to On)?

  • Set up home sharing between macbook pro and desktop pc. tried to sync music in library but ipod is not syncing the library. why not?

    I set up homesharing between macbook pro and desktop pc.  I have attempted to sync songs on my mac and pc, but the ipod will not sync the full library.  why not?

    Hey harold WD!
    You will want to consolidate your entire library onto one computer using Home Sharing in order to sync all of these items onto your iPod. Use the following article to help you accomplish this:

  • Resolution issue with macbook pro 13 (late 2013) and dell u2711

    I have a Dell U2711 (native resolution 2560x1440) that I use without issue with a macbook pro late 2007 (running 10.10.x), various iMacs and Macbook air 2011 running 10.10. When I say without issue, the display works at its native resolution.
    Last week we got a MacBook Pro 13in, late 2013 model.
    If I connect this macbook via either thunderbolt connection to the u2711 using either DVI port on the dell, the maximum resolution that I can use is 1920x1080. I am using apple mini displayport to DVI adaptors (I have tried 2 different ones and 2 different DVI cables, with no improvement). Clicking option + scaled in sys prefs does not give the native resolution as an option.
    However, I just discovered that if I use a DVI to HDMI adaptor and I connect the macbook to the display I get the full native resolution without issue (2560x1440).
    I have zapped the pram, powered down the display etc etc etc and it made no difference.
    I would prefer to use the mini DIsplayPort to DVI adaptor rather than HDMI, any suggestions appreciated.
    TIA.

  • Home sharing with iTunes 10.7, iOS 6 and A-tv 5.1.1 fixed

    I have finally resolved all the issues I was having with home sharing after installing iTunes 10.7, iOS 6, and Apple TV 5.1.1.  Everything with home sharing was failing; movies would never load, music would start plaing but then start buffering.  None of my Apple devices were working. I have been trying to resolve this for weeks now.  My solution was the 5 GHz WiFi on a Linksys E3200.  I disabled the the 5 GHz and everything started working.  I the went through every wireless setting but nothing worked with the 5 GHz turned on.
    I hope this helps,

    I just don't understand why it's so hard for all of us to acknowledge the simple fact that Home Share (and Match) simply don't work. They don't, that's all. Apple is great for hardware, but lousy on software (see also me.com, Final Cut, etc.)
    Why in the world should I spend my time trying to fix something that someone else has made, without gettin paid, when the same team who created it isn't able to fix it? I just don't understand.
    Every few days somebody comes up with a fix for Home Share, only to repost a few days later with a "wrong, it stopped working again".
    I really don't mean to be offensive, and I really appreciate other fellow's hints and helps in this forum,I try to give my help as well when I know of a solution, but when it doesn't work we should just drop it. iTunes is a lost case, sadly.

  • Printing with Macbook Pro over wireless network and PC.

    I just got my 17" Macbook Pro and this is my first Mac. I was using an Alienware laptop before and I was printing through the PC desktop in the bedroom hooked to a Epson printer thruogh a USB cable. I was curious if it is possible to set the Macbook up so that I can print through the PC. As far as I know Virtual PC isn't universal and only works with the power pc powerbooks, g4, g5, and etc. If someone could help me find the best alternative at the lowest cost I would greatly appreciate it.

    I found system preferences but once I get there I
    can't find the internet and network.
    wait. in the System Preferences window, the third row down should be "Internet & Network"... the second icon from the left should be "Network".
    are you saying you don't see the Network icon?
    I clicked show
    all and it doesn't add anything.
    correct that's just a "return to the main menu"-type thingy - i.e. if you click on "Appearance" from System Preferences window, and then decide that you want to go back to the System Preferences main window, you'd just click on "Show All"
    What am I missing?
    I'm brand new to OS X.
    well, i don't think you need Virtual PC... but i think we should first figure out why you're not able to get to the network setup section of system prefs....
    cheers

  • Time Machine backup with MacBook Pro 10.7.5 and Seagate Backup Plus Drive?

    Anyone have any suggestions for a successful backup using Seagate Time Machine Backup Plus 1TB hard drive and 10.7.5 MacBook Pro?

    Is it something like this? If so, then it's likely already formatted for use with OS X - "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)". Just connect the drive, make sure that it mounts, and turn on and setup Time Machine in System Preferences.
    The first backup may take awhile, but hourly backups should be quick. Don't worry about keeping the drive plugged into your Mac all of the time - when your on battery Time Machine will make local snapshots on your internal. Just plug it up when you're ready.
    For a good introduction to Time Machine, see http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html.
    Good luck,

  • Anybody having problems with home sharing with iTunes 10.5, iOS 5 and the VZW iPhone 4?

    I installed the updated itunes 10.5.  Updated my Verizon iPhone 4 to iOS 5.  So far so good with one exception.... I can't get home sharing to work properly.  I've enabled home sharing (via my Apple ID) on both iTunes and my iPhone.  I've disabled, reset and messed with my firewall to no end.  But even though home sharing appears enabled, I never get the option to access 'shared' as is supposed to be present when pressing the 'more' selection in the ipod app on the iPhone.  It's not there.  Also even though sharing is enabled in iTunes, I don't see home sharing in the tree on the left column in iTunes.  (It appears briefly when I enable home sharing, but disappears as soon as I acknowledge that I've enabled home sharing)  I'm running Windows 7 (32bit) with Norton Security Suite.  And my WIFI connection from my phone to my network is present.
    Help?

    Well after trying all of that a few times, I re-read an Apple document in regards to home sharing problems (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2972).  Yep and in their document, did that, did that, did that... hmmm wait a second... I didn't do this and in fact this is the only thing I didn't do.... So I did it and voila`, it worked.
    Anyway, I cycled the power on my Linksys E2000 wireless router.  That's it.  I didn't have to change any settings in the router.  Now every time the 'shared' selection is available on my iPhone and it is definitely a sweet feature!
    I hope that this solves your problem as well (assuming you haven't already tried it!)
    As for iCloud, I don't think the music in the cloud functionality is available yet.  I believe that's to arrive at some future (hopefully sooner than later!) date.  Not positive though.... it may already be available and I too don't quite know how to use it!

  • Wifi connection at home fails with macbook pro

    My MBP's connection with my home wi-fi often fails, occurring any time from a minute to 30 minutes after I connect. That is, I connect fine for a while and then find that I have no connection. 
    Two other devices, an ipod touch and an older Powerbook, also connect to the modem but almost never have any connection problem.

    I have a Belkin Wireless N router at home that my iPhone connects to beautifly...Except for the fact that it reverts to EGDE for web pages, and cannot connect to the iTunes store.
    I own a coffee house, and there I have a Linksys G router, and it connects with no problems at all. iTunes music store works great there, downloaded a song and all.
    I am going to try going to a static IP adress and remove the erroneous 192.168.2.1 in the DNS listing. I believe this to be a problem with Belkin Routers. I spent an hour on tech support with them and no luck yesterday.

  • Why can't I sync iPod touch calendar with macbook pro any more with latest OS X?

    since most recent software update with my macbook pro, contacts, calendar no longer syncs when I connect ipod touch with macbook pro. hate the cloud and want to stay "old fashioned". how can I?

    If you have Mavericks the only way to sync those items is via iCloud.
    If you use OS X Mavericks v.10.9 or later, your contacts, calendars, and other info are updated on your computers and iOS devices via iCloud. For more information, see iCloud Help at icloud.com.

  • HT1549 I don't want other computers connect with my computer, I don't want sharing my macbook pro, so how I can protect my computer and avoid other people connect with my computers

    I don't want other computers connect with my computer, I don't want sharing my macbook pro, so how I can protect my computer and avoid other people connect with my computers

    As long as you do not enable Sharing of any kind (System Preferences > Sharing) no other computer can connect with yours. Also make sure you have your wireless network protected with a WPA2 password.
    That's all I can suggest without knowing what OS version you are running (you are not running iOS as that is for iDevices).
